This wine is just unmistakeable. I served it blind and, after guessing that it was Cabernet dominant and about 20 years old, I told my dad that he was right and that, despite his immediate uncertainty, I would have been able to identify this myself blind. After which he said, ah yes, so it's not from France, it's from the Lebanon! The cinsault is so evident in this - completely muddling, but at the same time enriching the wine, adding complexity, depth, and delicate spice. The Carignan adds a wonderfully peppery fragrance and binds it all together beautifully! — 10 years ago

I love Dan Standish. He is one of the best winemakers. Lovely wine, very young. Blueberry and Red silky fruit. Full Bodied but not overly alcoholic, heat isn't obvious in this wine. Great length and layers of flavours. Big points from me 95 points. A producer I highly recommend! Typical sweet Barossa fruit, very seductive... — 10 years ago

Fantastic nose. My good friend Mumbles bought this and I'm glad he "badgered" me to have a glass. If I weren't driving tonight I would have had the whole bottle. — 10 years ago

This was really the pièce de résistance - 1990 comtes and @Steve Pollack 's last bottle to boot which he generously shared with us. Wow! — 10 years ago

Blind wine #2. Cartwright pretty much nailed it on the head. Everything but the vintage- which he guessed 2006. — 12 years ago
